Business Ethics
A FOCUS ON INTEGRITY AND ETHICAL CONDUCT
Supporting Innovators by Always Doing the Right Thing
Many companies say they operate in an ethical manner, but Calspan holds itself to a much higher standard for business ethics. We believe that it is imperative to always do what’s right.
Our business ethics and values are strongly woven into the fabric of our organization. We accept the responsibility for the outcome of company decisions; we play a collective role in corporate citizenship; and we recognize opportunities to make a difference for our customers, employees, and community.
Calspan personnel are committed to treating colleagues, customers, vendors, and competitors with respect and hold each other accountable in doing so.
This standard by which we hold ourselves accountable was recently recognized by the Buffalo Niagara Business Ethics Association as we were awarded the 2015 BNBEA Business Ethics Award.
